I know every woman is different but when you found out, or even before you found out you were pregnant, what symptoms did you have. What symptoms were you surprised you didn't have?

My period wasn't late, but my breasts were sore around the time I was supposed to get it (which never ever happened). Also, the day I took a pregnancy test (1-2 days before i was supposed to get my period), i felt a flutter in my belly.
Went home and took a pregnancy test and it was positive! We weren't even TTC. I was actually on birth control but had missed taking it for a few days. oops. HA.
I had all the symptoms I thought I would have--fatigue, nausea, headaches, sore breasts..

i've pretty much found out the day or two after my period was late (4 times), so i've never had symptoms before knowing. my first symptoms were fatigue and major major food aversion from 6 weeks on.

I had a feeling I was pregnant this second time around because I starting having to pee all the time.
The first time around I was really tired even before my period was due. This second time I was exhausted too, but it's hard to tell if that's pregnancy related when you've got a toddler and never get enough sleep!

Even before my period was late, my breasts were sore and I was exhausted! I'd get home from work and take a nap, wake up for dinner and want another nap. On my prep period at school, I'd wish that I could nap. No nausea though.

i don't think i really had any real symptoms when i found out since i found out really early. we did fertility treatment, so we pretty much did the hcg testing at 4 weeks. so before i was really considered "late". i might have had sore nipples. but now, even at 12+ weeks, i still have what feels like ALL the symptoms and praying it lets up soon.

I went slightly crazy during my last few months before I was actually pregnant. I had sore breasts and other "symptoms". When it was the real deal it had hot, heavy breasts and heartburn early on.

I was cramping like I was about to get my period and I didn't realize that was a symptom until I talked to my pregnant friend. Nausea didn't hit until about week 6 and I didn't get "super smell" until the second trimester.

I was a huge mess --- sore breasts, headaches, fatigue, sensitivity to light and smell, and chest pains. It didn't cross my mind that I could be pregnant, and my doctor ordered a series of tests for my heart b/c of an irregular heartbeat. It was only after a stress test did my husband suggest taking a pregnancy test.

I knew about a week after we conceived, bc my breasts were so sore and swollen. Once i missed my period, it was confirmed and the mind numbing headaches, fatigue, and debilitating nausea settled in for a good 10 weeks. I was so greatful that it ended in my second trimester!

Since 1 dpo I was having some mild cramping. On top of that I had some bloatedness. I thought for sure if I wasn't pregnant that my cycles were officially going to suck!

I hadn't missed my period yet, so I didn't have much before I found out. I did have severe heartburn a few days beforehand, but that's it.

I was THIRSTY! That was the first clue for me. I couldn't drink enough water. Then I had a sore throat and what seemed to be a sinus infection, turns out that's a symptom for some women...still trying to kick this thing. Grrrr...

I had a few weird things happen during my TWW that didn't normally happen, but overall was much more pessimistic the month that we got pregnant. I am always a little crampy during the TWW and was always convinced they were pregnancy related.
During this TWW I was constipated from 6-8DPO (never happens), had a few quick pretty intense cramps at 9DPO (with some weird chills down my leg....am convinced this was implantation), wine tasted off to me, and I had really restless sleeps for a few nights. I found out I was pregnant on 12DPO (the day before my period was due).

Just prior to taking the pregnancy test, I felt bloated. Once it was confirmed that I was pregnant, I was totally exhausted, very gassy, and my eyes were very. very dry.

I had very sore nipples, was really tired, and was super super thirsty. I also noticed an big increase in my appetite. I'd eat something, and literally be starving again in 2 hours. And I also had cramps too, like I was about to start my period.

I was absolutely starving & was more sensitive to smells. After I had both in one afternoon DH declared I was pregnant & it turned out I was!

I didn't have any symptoms before I found out. I took the test a few days after my period was late. And then shortly thereafter my boobs hurt like heck and I was extremely fatigued.

Sore boobs! They were killing me after I had gone running one night. I got a BFP two days later.
